Answer:

The directional earing is N 30° E

Explanation:

The given velocity vector is (25, 25·√3), therefor, we have;

R = 25·i + 25·√3·j

The angle of inclination of the direction of the boat with the horizontal = Arctan (y/x)

Where;

(x, y) = The coordinate of the components of the velocity of the boat

Therefore;

Arctan (y/x) = Arctan (25·√3/25) = Arctan (√3) = 60° North of East

The directional bearing which is the bearing relative to the northern direction is given as follows;

The directional earing = 90° - 60° = N 30° E.
